Building an object-oriented model requires knowledge of process and techniques. Representing the model itself requires the use of a notation underpinned by a rigorous definition. Today, this usually starts with a metamodel. Together, the metamodel and the notation are known as a "modeling language". Two modeling lanugages are described and compared: UML and OML (a UML variant). Advanced use of ...

The trend to outsource applications not critical to an enterprise’s core business has driven the emergence of a new type of IT service providers. These service providers run and maintain applications for enterprises having outsourced them. The business model of the providers is thus based on the exploitation of economies of scale by offering the same infrastructure, platforms and applications t...

The description of a physical problem through model necessarily involves the introduction parameters. Hence, one wishes to have solution that is function all these parameters: parametric solution. However, construction such solutions exhibiting localization in space only ensured by costly and time-consuming tests, which can be both numerical or experimental. Numerical methodologies used classic...

Abstract Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss the potential transfer a metamodel for heritage-based urban development (HBUD) in postcrisis recovery scenario. Design/methodology/approach After an introduction field cultural heritage as resource development, research question elaborated, and current understanding explored. use setting described solution. proposed introduced along with ...

BPMN 2.0 is an executable process modeling language. Thus, its relation to BPEL becomes an issue. In this paper, we propose a positioning of both languages, introduce the notion of a “native metamodel”, and emphasize the role of the native metamodel of a process engine for the actual discussion.

Next generation semantic applications will be characterized by a large number of networked ontologies; as a consequence the complexity of semantic applications increases. In this paper we present a metamodel and a UML syntax for the specification of networked ontologies. For the specification of the metamodel, we follow the metamodeling approach of Model Driven Architecures.
